    I love cycling around my city, more and more bike facilities are being created. Like recently a huge bicycle bridge over the highway and so-called "bicycle highways" are being realized between Eindhoven and Helmond and in the near future also to 's-Hertogenbosch. Those bicycle highways will feature facilities like shelters, bicycle repair points, resting points, etc.

    Always amazed how you can bike almost all the way from the station/university to the high tech campus only passing through parks. Though I would turn left at 9:44 towards the Genneper Watermolen and the prehistoric village and avoid the Bayeuxlaan.
    Those traffic lights at the Orpheuslaan are really annoying! It even triggered a remark from our otherwise perfectly silent guide!

    I forgot to mention 4:14 seven months ago. Very important spot! Both for high culture and low culture. You can spot the Van Abbemuseum in front of you and if you cross the - old - bridge to the right - which I love - you will find yourself in partystreet Stratumseind - very important if you're a student for example. Said bridge by the way you can spot at 4:00 to your right.

You can bike to main location Rachelsmolen Campus by going to the east (that's right from this view) at 1:41:15. Just bike over the John F Kennedey, follow the Rachelsmolen and you will find Port 2.

    Why is the center line (i.e., the line between the two cycle lanes) "s" shaped? Normally it's a straight line.

    1:42:25 good old Dutmalapad to the city centre (via Dommelstraat) or the east part of town. Oh, the memories. The point where left = to the east part (don't go right at 1:08) and right = to the centre is at 0:52. And no, right is not a bicycleroute, but it is 'autoluw', primary pedestrians and bicycles there... Personally I would often bicycle to the Vestdijk to park my bicycle there.

      Actually just the one at 1:52 is an electrical free-to-use app scooter (company Go) that only is allowed to go maximum 25kph. In the Netherlands we have 2 categories. Scooters that go max 25kph go on bicycles lanes. Scooters that go max 40kph go on the road, (in general).
      The scooter at 1:58 is also a max 25kph scooter. They have blue license plates and do not need to wear a helmet. When you have a scooter that goes max 40kph (so the 2nd category) these will have yellow license plates and the rider needs to wear a helmet. The one at 3:07 is a 40kph, yellow license plate and mandatory helmet scooter. ... Scooters that can go 40kph may go on the bicycle lanes, but only when that is indicated by a traffic sign. ... A max 25kph scooter the Dutch call, a scooter. But a max 40kph scooter, we Dutch actually call a "brommer". The latter because of the sound they historically made: "brom brom brom brom brom brom brom!"... ;-D

      In Taiwan, our e-scooters can go as fast as 50~60 km/h, but oners have to ride scooters on slow lanes, just like other motorcycles and bicycles. However, e-scooters are not very popular in Taiwan (2% in total amount, 10% in new sales), because they are 150% more expensive than fuel ones. The government provides subsidies, but consumers don't think worth it.

      ​@@pbice on a moped/schooter license (AM) legally a scooter/moped is not allowed to go faster then 45 km/h, if it goes faster you can get fined and/or it can get impounded, usually you get a fine/warning and you have to make the scooter/moped legal again and show it on a later date at the police station. (this is for the yellow plate)
      yes you can buy both 25 km/h and 45 km/h as ICE or Electric, i would guess that most of the 45 km/h scooters are already multiple years old and traded hands a couple of times.
      in a scooter shop near me, the cheapest electric is the NIU U1 for 1899 euros and the most expencive is the Vespa Electrica for 6629 Euros, while the cheapest ICE is the GTS Vici and the GTS Piemonte for 1499 euros and the most expencive is the Aprilia RS 50 for 4434 euros, but these numbers are for new scooters/mopeds.
      Or you take an electric bicycle, most of them can be cheaper than a new cheap moped/scooter, can go up to 20 km/h assisted and you don't need plates or a license to operate them.
